If Mullin is more dangerous why are his stats worse than Connolly having played more games? I'd say Connolly is more dangerous and in fact contributed more than Mullin in an attacking sense. Stats don't lie. Defensively both have put in shifts. People see what they want to see, doesn't mean that it's correct. Facts are facts. He's not played on the right it is his preferred position anywhere else means he's played put of position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerieA Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 1 hour ago, A_Rover_In_The_Burgh said: Connolly this season I believe has played 23 games 3 goals 5 assists Last season, 33 games 10 goals an 5 assists. I'd say those stats aren't that bad considering a 10 game deficit. Josh Mullin 28 games 1 goal and 5 assists. Why are you not slagging him off? He's also started more games than Connolly and is naturally right footed I agree, I don't think he's been as effective at times but to say you don't know what he's bringing is borderline stupid. You’ve got me with that one. The stats don’t lie as they say. Think all our wide players have had some poor games at times this season-including Easton. Think Connolly misses a Millen behind him on the overlap. A lot of misplaced passes and poor touches at times. Think all our wide players put in a right good shift these days. Still surprised McGill has never got more game time on the right side.Looked better than Connolly or Mullin had been in recent weeks when he came on against Queens Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if they don't offer a PPV for UK viewers too. When we do this though it's usually announced pretty late on so as not to encourage anyone considering going to the game to just stay at home instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I'm shocked about McGill aswell. When he played earlier in the season, he didn't really put a foot wrong. He's also got a bit of height about him. Winger wise we've been crying out for an Ethan Ross type player. There's absolutely no pace in the team, which has also hindered. We chop and change most games so get no continuity either. Our big problem is Murray has no clue on our best 11. Unfortunately our midfield are incapable of controlling a game when we play 4 but when we play 5 we are much better that generally means Lewy has to be sacrificed as he can't hold up a ball. Fans get pissed because he's our best player, but unfortunately dropping him may be for the greater good against some teams, he's also a great pair of fresh legs to come on. The team needs overhauled, there's no denying it. How we are in the position we are in, is astounding considering we haven't played well since we beat Utd at Tannadice. I think it's just a really shitey bunch of teams this year and we have been the better of a bad bunch. -15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGill was a strange signing for Raith as Murray used him as a utility player when at Airdrie, he rarely featured as a starter when everyone was fit. He was still young at that point though and gave the ball away far too easily for me but perhaps understandable due to his age. Can only assume Murray seen a lot of improvement in him and he wouldn't be on a huge wage. Not sure you need "overhauled" though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardog_champion Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Despite the banter Airdrie have been scarily brilliant this season. Rhys McCabe certainly has our number thats for sure . Hopefully Murray has the balls to get some much needed revenge on them on Tuesday. The manager really needs to stop the tinkering and stick to a team formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the money. Half a million pounds pumped into Raith in January. I’m not jealous It’s gone in as shares which means it can’t come back out and so a real good news story for Raith fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) To be so far ahead in 2nd despite having managed not even one convincing league win all season is freakish. I think there's definitely something to be said about the standard of the league, which is absolutely abysmal. All in all, it's about the least impressive title challenge I can think of in terms of performance levels, with the highlights all being late winners rather than comprehensive victories or performances.

Popular Post Hank Scorpio Posted April 8 Popular Post Share Posted April 8 I mean this sincerely: if going to the Rovers is one of your main hobbies - and I imagine it is for the most of us - and you aren’t enjoying this season, I’d give serious consideration to finding something else to do on a Saturday afternoon. it really isn’t going to get much better than this. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
